Date: 28 February 2017

During the Government meeting which discussed the mechanism of treasury monitoring of public procurement, Prime Minister Bakytzhan Sagintayev instructed to keep under control the implementation of the pilot project.

During the meeting the Minister of Finance B. Sultanov reported that in order to reduce the shadow economy, strengthen the monitoring of construction progress and rationally use the budgetary funds it is proposed to implement treasury monitoring of public procurement. This year, the mechanism will be tested in three regions – Astana city, Akmola and Karaganda regions.

Prime Minister B. Sagintayev noted that at the extended meeting with the participation of President Nursultan Nazarbayev the system of public procurement has been subject to fair criticism.

“Within a short time this system was developed, worked out, now it will be implemented in a pilot mode. We will change the scheme and the main task is for the pilot mode to work. Until the end of this year you must bring it to fruition, and maybe from next year fully transition to the mechanism of treasury monitoring of public procurement. We will also inform the public of proposed measures on all other directions,” – B. Sagintayev said.
